Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki

The history of Thessaloniki begins in 315 B.C. In that year, Cassander of Macedonia founded the city before giving it the name of his lover: Thessalonike, Alexander the Great’s half-sister. Over this city, edified like a profession of love, reigns a unique atmosphere. Situated at the far end of the Thermaic Gulf, Thessaloniki was originally at the crossroads of the great commercial routes of the day. With time, the city took on the persona of an industrial and commercial centre, enough for it to overflow with creativity. The beauty of its Byzantine churches made it a city of the arts, at the crossroads of many eras and cultures.

Just like the majority of port cities, Thessaloniki was cosmopolitan, and competition between its three largest communities, Muslim, Orthodox and Jewish, led to a sort of emulation. That is why the city is overflowing with life and creativity today. From the White Tower to the city’s very own Hagia Sophia, centuries of art and history, magic and myths are all around. Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki has captured this heritage and brought it to the next level within a fabulous luxury hotel, as the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hôtel Martinez and the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme.

The complex is like a bouquet of buildings planted in a garden of palm trees, illuminated by waterlilies and lotuses. The location is perfect for a city break: 15 minutes from downtown Thessaloniki, 2.5 hours from Mont Pelion and along the sumptuous beaches of Chalkidiki. Close to Turkey and Bulgaria, Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki is also close to the most beautiful Greek vineyards. The hotel’s 134 rooms merit each and every one of the property’s 5 stars.  The luxurious hotel proposes modern and elegant accommodation with extraordinary swimming pools, tennis and squash courts, a sauna, a Turkish bath and a whirlpool. The rooms look out over a beautiful outdoor space and offer excellent service. The architect Alexander Kravetz, who works out of London, was able to blend the hotel into its savage surroundings. One of the finishing touches is the Asian Spa; an exclusive area offering services that were specially imagined for Hyatt Regency Thessaloniki.
